Chapter 437

Ethan Roscente looked down at Sophia Evans with cold dominance.

"Sophia, this is your final warning."

His voice was icy.

Sophia shrank back, tears welling in her eyes.

"I've learned my lesson. I won't do it again."

Her words sounded repentant, but her nails dug deep into her palms.

Why did Vivian Laurent get to stand by Ethan's side? She couldn't accept it.

"Mommy!" Theo ran over and hugged her leg.

Sophia looked down at the child, a calculating glint flashing in her eyes.

She knelt down, deliberately showing her bandaged face.

"Theo, Mommy missed you so much..."

Ethan pulled the child behind him.

"Watch your words."

Sophia bit her lip.

This child was her only bargaining chip.

"Uncle..." Theo looked up with pleading eyes. "I want to stay with Mommy longer."

Ethan's brow furrowed.

He knew Sophia's tricks all too well.

"I'll pick you up in one hour."

Sophia hid a smug smile.

She knew Ethan couldn't bear to make Theo sad.

"Mommy got you new toys." She took Theo's hand.

Ethan watched coldly.

This woman's acting skills had become disturbingly convincing.

Two hours later.

"Time to go." Ethan lifted the reluctant Theo.

Sophia followed them to the door with reddened eyes.

"Will you visit Mommy again tomorrow?"

Theo nodded eagerly.

Ethan shot her a warning glare.

Sophia pretended not to notice.

"Uncle, let's come back tomorrow." Theo tugged at Ethan's sleeve.

After a pause, Ethan replied.

"We'll see."

Sophia watched from the window as the black car drove away.

She slowly wiped the tears from her eyes.

A cold smile curled her lips.

"Ethan Roscente, just you wait."

Turning, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Is everything ready?"

A respectful voice answered.

"All set, awaiting your orders."

Sophia hung up with satisfaction.

She stroked Theo's photo in the frame.

"My dear son, Mommy will take very good 'care' of you."
